I'm Pretty Sure We Do Something Besides Eat, I Promise

Maybe it's because I'm absolutely starving this morning or perhaps it's because Jason made an awesome meal that included his own homemade barbecue sauce, whichever it is, I've got a ton of delicious pictures from this weekend.

We had our friends Eric and Tiffany and their beautiful girls over for a little UFC action this Saturday. Figuring they weren't down with a spread of Big Macs, Jason got busy in the kitchen.(I did help with the Garlic Thyme Green Beans and my go to starter, Bacon Crisps)











Jason can totally put out a fantastic homemade barbecue sauce, which was enjoyed by everyone including this cuteness that will eventually lead to the arranged marriage that Tiffany and I are planning.



I'm pretty much going to have the cutest grandkids ever.

In an unrelated turn of events Jason and I, in an unprecedented fashion, had another Big Mac attack last night.

I am considering making big changes to my head this coming weekend, making my hair a dark chestnut brown. What do you guys think?

And yes, this was totally a filler post

Fall, Big Macs and Birdcages

Jason and I had our usual Friday Big Mac attack. Like clockwork, Friday hits and we are ready to shove the greasy goodness that is McDonalds into our faces like 16 year olds without morals or conscience.



Jason was not really amused when I made him pause so I'd have photographic evidence of our grossness. He said "I just want to eat already":



Today is a cold, gray and spitty Fall day. I'm down in the basement rushing through this because this is waiting for me upstairs:



Like an idiot, my bare toes are freezing, I was just out in the garage spraying a second coat on my birdcage (more in a minute) with no shoes on.

I thought I might share a couple of my recent Pyrex finds. Every time my grandma hands me a new (old) piece or I stumble across one at Goodwill, I get a little excited. And I don't think Jason gets as "pee your pants" happy as I do. Maybe someone out there will. Our next house project is a wall make-over to display my Pyrex. This project involves blackboard paint so I'm dorking out on the prospects of that just a little bit.




So I had mentioned to my grandma a few weeks ago that I really wanted a decorative birdcage for my living room and was going to start hunting for one. And that is when the treasure trove that is grandma's house started to shine and glisten with pixie dust and she announced, I have at least two that you can have, just come over and get them.

It turns out she had three just stashed in various places, including the place she calls the "Fairy House" in her back yard. I'll share that with you soon enough. Jason and I were married next to that fairy house. So she's not crazy, there is a house. Although, I'm not sure about the fairies. Grandma does get a little wonky from time to time.

So I went over and picked up my newly beloved birdcage. It was bare wood when I got it and not an attractive color of wood at that, "forcing" me to whip out my can of Krylon:



And as I said before, grandma's house always prices things perfectly, free. Which made this score all the better since just days later I saw one very similar at Urban Outfitters (urbanoutfitters.com) for nearly $100. Also? I saw one in the window of a shop that had been converted into a lamp that looked exactly like this one only it had a price tag of over $250.

Hopefully, I can get Jason to hang it in the corner I have all picked out for it. A corner that has been looking lonely and desolate since we moved into this house.

I promise to post pictures when we do.

Wishing everyone a great weekend!
